My copy has the same cover of Stevie's one. This has probably to do that they are both R2 dvds from the UK, while R1 dvds will have the cover showed on the site that you found, Gerdie. :dunno
I haven't seen this mentioned before. For those who haven't got their hands on the DVD yet and can't wait to see AG again, the whole film has been put up on YouTube.

Ok so since I've been away for awhile - did this come to DVD in the States already??
I don't think so Gnat. It still says November 13th, on the Amazing Grace site. I was thinking the 4th, but figured I better check. Wish it was the 4th.
Oh ok - thanks! I guess it was released in the UK already then???
Yeah, they got it first this time and we have to wait.
Bummer - same thing will be for the 5th Harry Potter. They're getting it a whole month before we do here in the States.
Hurry up, November 13th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hurry up, November 13th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait much longer for it!! :wink:
Ah, the illusive "A-list"! I DO wish that Mr. I could receive the actor's merit that he is due------and this film is one that could do it for him. Hurry up, Nov. 13th!!!

Ah, the "A-list" eludes most actors. If we think of all the people who chose acting as their profession, very few make it to the so-called A-list. Anyway, I do wish, too, that Ioan could receive the recognition as an actor that he is due and think AG could do it for him.
I'm looking forward to this DVD also.
As to the A-list actor thing. I look at it as he regards that as a goal and you set goals higher than your current reach. Most actors just want to be a regularly working actor, and then having some highly regarded roles. Ioan has reached both those goals, even if he's not a household name. So why not set a higher goal that you may or may not reach? :dunno Anyway it make sense to me.
Not here, but elsewhere (in that place that shall not be named) I recently read posts that compare his career to current A-lister's like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Clive Owen or Johnny Depp and then suggesting that Ioan will never reach that level. Well the closest to his age is Clive (nine years older) and both he and Clooney were still doing television ten years ago and certainly not A-list film stars. Depp had done a few roles in minor films and was just releasing Donnie Brasco which kind of broke him through the glass ceiling. Brad Pitt was really the only one who had an A-list career by that point.
An actor may find what they think is a wonderful script or story with great co-stars and then find their career is at the mercy of the director and editor. For example Clive's performance in Elizabeth which I found lacking. Though overall I enjoy his acting.
Ioan's career is going quite well compared to most actors his age. All actors can look back and see that certain roles may have been detrimental, but that can always change with the next role.
Any actor should always keep in the back of their minds that Kathrine Hepburn went from getting an Academy Award to being labeled Box Office poison to coming back getting a few more awards and ranking high on anybody's list. It still happens today - witness John Travolta's up and down, sometimes A-list career.
Needless to say whether or not people enjoyed Ioan's performance in FF, it certainly didn't hurt the box office and as we know he has shown his excellent acting ability in other roles like AG, Hornblower, S & G, etc.
Sorry for going on so long - I guess the article just triggered the frustration of reading those posts on I**B ;angry: :angry2:
This weekend something William Goldman said about Hollywood is very true. - No one knows anything! Including me. :wink:
